The Fourth Trimester

What we NEED more of!

The author of this book goes into a gray area. She explores and explains all of the things women go through post birth. She helps women understand that what they’re going through is normal, and that they don’t need to feel guilty or confused. Kimberly Ann Johnson has written a masterpiece, that I have, and will continue to, recommend to every mother I know. 100 stars!

Really use full tips you can put into action

I love the content of this book. Thank you Kimberly for writing this! It’s so sad that Americans have lost the generational knowledge of birth. I’m pregnant with my third child and finally seeking out the help and support I will need once the baby arrives. I went straight back to work after my first two with whom I had traumatic hospital births with and felt like I was a rockstar for doing so. Wow, how wrong was I for buying into society’s and feminist’s ideas of what it means to have it all and do it all. This time I’m looking forward to a healing birth with wise midwives in at a birthing center.

I love this book and hope it’s given to every mom at her baby shower with a offer to bring her a meal or clean her house post baby instead of all the meaningless gadgets and onesies and hospital room selfies.

Her message about how moms need to be mothered is so real. I felt that deeply with my first child but had no idea what to ask for or how to put it into words.

Hands down best book for new Mommy

I am about to give birth and like many new moms, I went crazy reading about everything I should know. I’m very interested in all natural home birth (although this book doesn’t push natural/ home births, rather supports all moms after any type of birth) This book is the complete deal. We as a society and sex don’t typically make the space and time to take care of ourselves after the birth and feel guilty thinking of someone other than the baby. I so happy that I learned everything now right before I enter my “fourth trimester”. The author has a great voice and I love that she reads her own book.

This Book is a Gem!

My heart swells thinking of the contents of this book. Kimberly has created a guide to recognizing the magic of the human experience of birth, without the added "WOO". It is practical, comforting and thorough in its organization of information and breadth of knowledge. I do give this book a WOO HOO! as it has vindicated my personal instincts and hunches about my future birthing experience and soon to be mama-hood. I am so thankful for this woman. I look forward to creating my fourth trimester sanctuary and trusting myself to tell people "NO" when I need, without guilt and to ask for help when I need, without guilt. l look forward to the opportunity to practice these arts and feel prepared and supported by the words in this book.

I'm so glad that Kimberly decided to read her own book. I feel like a friend is reading to me and I feel connected to her and the words and absorb information in a way I probably would not have if I read this. The PDF visuals and worksheets are pleasing to look at and thorough also.

WELL DONE!

I love with this book

A must to read ! I feel so inspired and with a new set of tools

Way too much woo for me

So many people recommended this book I was really stoked to listen to it, but if I hear the words "womb space" one more time I will scream. I just don't connect to this sort of ethereal earth mama stuff. I am returning it.

Incredible, beautiful, honest, and applicable!

I recommend this book for all women, post partum or not. 4th Trimester is about women's health and recovery from childbirth but so much more! the permission to slow down and enjoy being woman.

Important Insight into Postpartum

Almost every mom I talk to says the same thing. 'I was not prepared for how hard the first couple months after birth would be.' Even the MOST prepared, home-birth, hippie mamas didn't know how hard the fourth trimester would be. And that's what Kimberly Ann Johnson has to tell you about. It's an important and useful book. She's professional and spirited! Her pace is a little slow for my listening pleasure. But I've recommended to all the mom's to be in my life.

A wonderful resource

This is the first way I have been able to access so much hard to find or ask mother centered information.

must read!

Every pregnant woman needs to read this and it would be helpful if their husbands read it as well!
